It seems a little dust has settled here since I last posted. However no dust has landed on me! It's been hair straight back these last couple of weeks. I've been busy working, sewing, knitting, and sourcing out suppliers : ) Oooooh the goodies I'm going to have in the shop!

First things first tho. I made a spelling bee block for Lisa. Can you guess?

I had no spider fabric in my stash (ack!) but I had ants. 'Spider' was one of the words she wanted for her quilt

My living room has boxes and boxes of yarn. More is expected any day and it's fun to see!

I'm always inspired by samples when I go into shops so I've been working on a few. Zauberball is a sock yarn that I fell for years ago. There is so much more you can make than just socks : ) But wouldn't they be fabulous?

.........and the colours !

Also, I have been working on a 'river rock' scarf with wool from Smith and Ewe. I love her yarns and she's local too

I am off to have coffee with Carol. She's knit me a couple of samples for the shop and I am ever so grateful. Thanks Carol!

How exciting. I think making samples is a great idea; I find it so hard to imagine how the yarn is going to look once it is knitted together, so I mostly avoid multi-coloured yarn just in case, but your beanie looks so great that I would definietly be more inclined to buy the yarn.

Barb****** I can't reply because you have no e-mail attached to your blogger profile so I hope you see this. There is a several month wait for Madelinetosh, and with our dollar being so low........I do hope in the future to carry it : )

I've been thinking of how busy you must be right now. It's an exciting time for you and I just know your shop is going to be a great addition, not only for knitters but for us quilters as well. We do love colour and who knows, maybe we'll get inspired after visiting Knit 2!!! Great to read the update this morning!

Your SPIDER is looking great with all those ants in the fabric--and fun to see all the yarns. I love seeing all the things you knit and they are very inspirational. Can't wait to see your shop open up!

About Me

First of all I'm a wifey, a mother to 6 grown children, grandma to 4, and owner of Knit2 Yarns in Kamloops, B.C. Knitting has been part of my life since I was eight years old when a teacher taught me how. Quilting is the other hobby that takes my time. I love them both.
